SECTION 1 - SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
l A green colored terminal or terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding, or the symbol is located inside
the power center terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be
connected to the grounding means provided in the electric service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
l Follow all state, local, and National Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian Electrical Code(s) if
applicable) unless local guidelines supersede.
l For personal safety, and to avoid damage to equipment, follow all safety instructions displayed on the
equipment and within this manual. Repair and service of your AutoPilot
®
chlorinator must be performed by
qualified service personnel.
l Should you suspect your chlorine generator is not performing properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section in
this manual to determine if service is required. See "Troubleshooting" on page 31.
l Warranties will be voided if the chlorinator has been improperly installed. Failure to properly operate, maintain
or repair the AutoPilot
®
chlorinator will void the factory warranty.
SAFETY SIGNALS
Throughout this manual safety signals are placed where particular attention is
required.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or
death.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Disconnect all AC power when installing or servicing this system. Follow
all state, local, and National Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian Electrical Code(s) if applicable)
unless local guidelines supersede. Use copper conductors only.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord
immediately.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The AutoPilot
®
chlorinator contains no owner-repairable components.
Repairs must not be attempted by untrained and / or unqualified individuals. If service is deemed necessary,
contact installing dealer or AquaCal AutoPilot Customer Support.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - A bonding lug has been provided on the outside of the power supply. This
lug permits the connection of a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) solid copper-bonding conductor (No. 6 AWG in
Canada). Make this connection between the Pool Pilot
®
power supply and all other electrical equipment and
exposed metal within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the unit. All field-installed metal components (such as rails, ladders,
drains, etc.) within 10 ft of the pool, spa, or hot tub, must be bonded to the equipment grounding bus using
copper conductors not smaller than No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) (No. 6 AWG in Canada). Install control center at
least 10' (3 m) from the inside wall of the pool or spa using non-metallic plumbing.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - A disconnect device incorporated into the fixed wiring must be included in
the supply circuit (such as a time clock, relay, or circuit breaker).
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
